Invasion portals in Reknor

#1 Post by Mewtarthio »

Invasion portals are a bit out-of-place in Reknor. For one thing, they're mostly a Far East phenomenon; Reknor is the only place in the West where they show up, and there's not really any explanation. From a gameplay perspective, Reknor's level range is 18-35. A level 18 character is, needless to say, woefully under-equipped to handle nagas and major demons. They're still out-of-depth for a level 35 character, though not by such extremes. Either way, you've got unlimited numbers of out-of-depth monsters pouring out of those things.

I'm posting here because my latest game just ended when a naga portal and a fearscape portal both spawned on the last level of Reknor. All the orcs in the first room were slaughtered; I can only imagine the plot-breaking that would have occurred if one of them had opened into Golbug's room. My character, naturally, was no match for the monsters. Now, I could have simply fled and starting grinding farportals until I was an appropriate level, but that really doesn't sound like much fun. I don't mind these portals in the Far East proper, but this is just ridiculous.
